A Virginia State Police trooper was injured in a pursuit, and another officer responding to the incident was involved in a crash, on I-64 in Newport News Friday morning, a spokeswoman said.

Just after 6 a.m., an officer tried to stop a 2002 Honda after seeing the driver use the "Authorized Vehicles Only crossover" near mile marker 252, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said in a news release.

The driver initially stopped, but then accelerated and sped away from the trooper, initiating the pursuit, she said. The driver then took the Jefferson Avenue exit, drove to Campbell road and got out of the vehicle at a dead end at an apartment complex, she said.

The officer chased after the person, who was caught "within minutes," Geller said.

The trooper was taken to Mary Immaculate Hospital for treatment of "a serious, but not life-threatening, injury" he suffered during the foot pursuit, according to Geller.

Meanwhile, another state trooper responding to the incident crashed with a 2000 Buick LeSabre at the intersection of J. Clyde Morris Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue. The officer was driving with lights and sirens activated, Geller said.

The impact forced the patrol car into a 2013 Mazda CX-9 that was stopped at the intersection. The driver of the LeSabre was treated for minor injuries at the scene, she said. The trooper was not injured, and the driver of the Mazda did not report injuries at the scene, Geller said.
